2023 BMW M2 vs Porsche Cayman GTS 4.0 vs Tuned Golf R // DRAG RACE + LAP TIME

The 2023 BMW M2 ($79,754 starting in Canada, $63,195 in the US), the 2023 Porsche 718 Cayman GTS 4.0 PDK ($117,242 starting in Canada, $100,580 in the US), and a respectably tuned Volkswagen Golf R DSG ($52,483 starting in Canada, $46,635 in the US) have lined up for a drag race. These three German cars each look to make it down the strip first. The all-wheel drive Golf R and mid-engined Cayman may have a traction edge over the rear-driven M2 off the launch. But will traction be enough to take on the blistering 460 horsepower in the M2? Watch to find out! Things don’t always go as you might expect in a drag race. Subscribe!
Huge thank you to @blue_lapiz8r for loaning us their Golf R

KARSTON SPEAKS. Ok, so this was news to us as well. He hasn’t said a word since and honestly it’s very unnerving. When we asked him about it he just focused at us really hard. We think the real Karston might be locked up somewhere in a dungeon or something. We request your thoughts and prayers at this troubling time.

@geemy9675 Год назад

AWD still has more traction with 100% of the weight on driven wheels vs 56% on the cayman. Even with weight transfer, I don't think the cayman is anywhere near lifting the front wheels and having 100% on the rear...bigger contact patch does not translate into proportionally better friction coefficient, only reduces the tire load and improves grip marginally. I think Porsche launch control is just more efficient, cayman's lighter so better power/weight ratio and probably more power than the spec sheet says. maybe the golf R launch control doesn't do so good with the added power too...tunes Porsche's launch really well but that's not always the case with every car brand

Not that I'm knocking (engineering pun intended) 400hp from the VW at all, it's just not uncommon enough these days that I'd call it amazing, personally.

Just this past Monday I got to drive stick for the first time (and in a 4th gen WRX at that). I'm honestly surprised at how well I did, I only stalled once in 30 minutes of driving, even though we were just driving around an empty parking lot. Honestly, it felt quite natural, and I was pleasantly surprised by the fact that if you let the clutch out slowly, you can start moving without touching the gas. My neighbor who owned the WRX and was teaching me was also impressed with how well I got on with it, and I'm looking forward to driving stick with him again.

Having owned a tuned mk 7.5 Golf R myself, I was kind of shocked that it didn't take the stock Porsche Cayman GTS!! That car is obvioiusly amazing, and imagine what it could do with a little more work! Of course, one of the reasons I loved the Golf R was that it was a hatchback and was a bit of a sleeper. That tune essentially makes it an RS3 hatchback, which they stopped importing into the states when I bought mine... otherwise I would've owned a modded RS3!! Giddyup!

@krane15 Год назад

Driver error. It should have gaped the other two cars off the line. However, its weakness is in the mid-rage where it sadly, begins to fizzle out while the others keep on pulling.

@jeremysmith7686 Год назад

My tcu is still locked. . Definitely would've beat the porsche otherwise eventhough it's 600lbs lighter. My car hasn't been on a dyno but is neck and neck with my buddies stage 1+ unitronic car also with no tcu so they just put the unitronic #'s down. Those are not whp figures. . Realistically my car probably only makes 400ish whp with no tcu so the tq is being limited.

@timfederwitz Год назад

@@jeremysmith7686 I guess this makes more sense. My 2019 Golf R was Stage 2+ and easily and consistently did 0-60 in 3.5 secs on the street (I had a tracker). It also never seemed to stop pulling at any speed, right up to 150+ when it would be aero limited. It also would do the quarter mile in 11.5 secs, and looking at the perf stats of the 2023 Caymen GTS, mine would have done it in handily. Thanks for sharing these details, because it makes more sense now. Also, my 2019 Golf R weighed 3,300 pounds, so only ~200 pounds more than the GTS.

@jeremysmith7686 Год назад

@Tim Federwitz so my car currently when I ran it down that strip is trapping a speed of 118-119 mph which is also good enough for a mid 11 but the 60ft with the lack of tcu tune has only generated an 11.9 at 119.

@teddyframhein Год назад

You can definitely fully disable everything on the 981 generation Cayman/Boxster, even with PTV - I've got a backlog of drifty shenanigans to prove it. I don't know why they would have changed that for the 718. But even with everything fully disabled, unless you've already got a drift going, the balance tends to shift to understeer on power. Better to get the rotation done on entry using a trail of the brake; then you've got all the traction in the world to use on the way out.

Awesome video. Love it! Pricing is interesting. Currently one Canadian dollar equals 74 cents in USD. So with that calculation the 718 in CAD is $117,242 and when you convert that to USD its $86,362 but if you buy the 718 in the US you're paying $100,580 USD. Same goes for the M2, $79,754 CAD converts to $58,748 USD and the Golf $52,483 CAD converts to $38,660 USD

.2 seconds quicker is very vague... In the 1/4 the Z is .7 seconds quicker. Even the old 370z is quicker than the type s in the 1/4 mile. You can thank the awd system in the type s for the extra 500 pounds... which also helps it hold its own with the Z to 60 mph and around a track. I agree that on paper the Z should be quicker around a track but it's truly comparing apples to oranges.

I love the new tuning available for the golfs. I have a 22 GTI and am stage 1 with 370 hp. It’s like the perfect daily (for me) 🤣🙌🏽 love it

@genderlessyoutubefanperson Год назад

Stage 1 does not make 370 hp. You will need stage 2 on 93 octane minimum with supporting mods. IC, DP and TCU tune.

i'm a golf head for sure as a gti owner but the tuned R being able to keep up with a porsche is super impressive

Its so impressive how fast the golf R is.

@ESKATEUK Год назад

How is that impressive? It’s tuned up to 460bhp and got dropped by a 390bhp cayman. It’s nothing impressive.

@AntFragale Год назад

@@ESKATEUK because 1,000$ in ecu and tcu tuning gets you a hatch that runs like 11.4 @121 for less than 50k. How on earth do you think that’s not impressive for a 2.0? It’s also 446. Don’t need to round up (and down on the Porsche) to try and make your point seem better.

the stock one can be compared to the 1 series, not sure why people are surprised tbqh

@mdub048 Год назад

I wonder what the times would have been with PSM on? Maybe the Porsche wizardry (it is a real thing) would have let you push the limits deeper knowing the safety harness was engaged? Just wondering... 🤔 Great video... Gives anyone considering any of these cars plenty to think about and plenty of encouragement. 🤩

I still can't believe that M2 is 3900 lbs.!! Porker. As for the Cayman, you have to uncheck the PTV option and it won't cut the power through the bends.

See, just sticking a tune in it (Golf R) with a $4000 exhaust has it keeping up with cars double its price.

@AntFragale Год назад

The DP (if it has one) is the only thing that would even add anything too. The 2k worth of the catback is only a noise mod.

If price is your only measure when buying a car, then yes, go with the Golf. If looks and sound are thrown in, the Golf doesn’t do it for me. But that’s just me.

Cayman 4.0 has amazing grip. I dumped the clutch on full throttle and it just pulled with little to no slip. Granted it was very hot that day on a clean tarmac.
